WELCOME BACK, Missy!! Hope Day Two treated you well.

I'm grateful today for being patient with myself and some uncomfortable feelings, for not having to act out in any addiction to change those feelings. Today I know I can let them be and they will pass...eventually. teehee.

And grateful getting back to doing some singing on Rock Band. A friend was over, so I left my usual spot on the drum stool and vocalized a bit. I love singing. I want to remember I can do it even if no one has joined me.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

I'm grateful for 5 days sober, and that I'm finally exhausted from it (in a good way). I just want to sleep (instead of wanting to fixx). Sleepy, yawny, yay...

I'm grateful I am back in recovery and doing things that are healthy instead of self-destruction.

Grateful that our secretary at my home group had his sugar crash there while giving a comment from tonights lead and not somewhere out there. And two nurses were there to help him out. Because he didnt have his sugar pills or insulin with him.

Sleep well all.

Thank you so much for the little pep talk Eternal... That was nice, I've needed it! haha

Welcome back Missy!

I am grateful for finally getting some things accomplished today. I am grateful that I was in a great mood today. I am grateful that while feeling down in the dumps and alone lately, I ended up having a GREAT visit with my best friend.

I am grateful that at this moment, I feel content.

Night everyone!

I'm so grateful for all of you and that you are welcoming. Every step away from trying to destroy myself is a step toward something...I don't know what. But I'm grateful that I can walk toward it with my head up.

Happy evening Bedtime friends.

Grateful that I know what the next right thing is, and that I can do it most of the time.

That's why I try to include openness, curiosity, and flexibility among the principles I practice in ALL my affairs, along with healthy doses of acceptance and patience, too, of course. Sure makes my life a lot easier...

Grateful for being able to keep a balance between not avoiding dealing with difficult conversations while not pushing myself too hard to resolve conflicts immediately. Glad I know it's OK to start a discussion and to table it until later if things heat up. When the decibel level rises, it's time for a time out!

Grateful for a MUCH better relationship with my almost-ex-husband.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful to just be home posting here. After 9 mile round trip walk to the courthouse only 1 more payment to go. I have made that trip once a month for the last 16 months. So glad to be done with it. And on the way home I thought it was a good idea to hit the gym, oy vey , I can barely move. LOL.

Sleep well all, I know I will tonight.

Grateful when we were short at work this week i was able to work ten hrs the last three days. Grateful that the resulting back strain did not trigger drinking, as reducing pain used to be a major reason i used for drinking. Grateful instead I came home, took motrin, walked the dog and am doing some breathing and stretching through the spasms instead. Drinking never solves a problem!
